2.  Sailors participating in SkillBridge who are assigned to a Permanent
Duty Station (PDS) overseas and eligible for an Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA),
are ineligible to continue to receive OHA if they do not have a valid
overseas housing lease agreement.  As a result, OCONUS Sailors returning to CONUS for
participation in SkillBridge had not been entitled to housing allowances
during their SkillBridge temporary duty assignment.  Reference (a) clarifies
Sailors who depart the overseas duty station to participate in SkillBridge are
entitled to Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)-Transit until the Sailor either returns
to the overseas PDS, reports to a new PDS, or separates from Service.
3.  In line with reference (b) section 10.10.4.2.2, a Sailor who, upon
completion of SkillBridge, reports to a U.S. processing station, is entitled
to BAH for the retirement or separation processing location.
4.  Reference (a) is applicable to Sailors with or without dependents.
Sailors without dependents are entitled BAH-Transit starting the day the member
departs the overseas PDS.  Sailors with dependents who participate in SkillBridge
may be authorized BAH-Transit unless they are receiving a with-dependent housing
allowance for a dependent residing separately.
5.  Reference (a) is a clarification of existing policy and retroactive
payment of BAH-Transit to eligible members is authorized.
6.  Request widest distribution possible.
